It is a pleasure to serve with you in the Chair, Ms Vaz. I congratulate the Chair of the Select Committee, my hon. Friend the Member for Newcastle upon Tyne Central and West (Dame Chi Onwurah).
I have three quick anecdotal points and then a question for the Minister. Data sovereignty...

To ask the Secretary of State for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs, what steps they are taking to use (a) artificial intelligence and (b) data to help increase their Department's productivity.
Defra is committed to improving its productivity, including through artificial intelligence and effective use of data.
Central to this agenda will be delivering on our Digital and Data Transformation Strategy (2023-2030), which focuses on improving access to high quality data and digital services.
This year, we established our Chief Data Office, which aims to shape a consistent approach to data and information, common tooling and capability. Its 2030 ambitions will enable data sharing across Government, reduce duplication, and empower a more efficient workforce in Defra.
AI, particularly machine learning, is also being used to process large volumes of data quickly and accurately across the department. Our primary vehicle is the Data Analytics and Science Hub, an advanced analytics platform, which serves increasing demand to bring together complex data, derive insights, and improve decision-making and operational efficiency in a legal and ethical way.
We are also collaborating with the Central Digital and Data Office (CDDO) to trial generative AI products such as Microsoft 365 copilot, focused on improving the day-to-day productivity of staff.
We draw on a range of resources to inform our AI and data approach, for example, the Generative AI Framework, and have access to CDDO for expert advice.
My interest in this debate comes from my representing a science and research city, where data, and transferring it, is key, and from my long-term background in information technology. Perhaps as a consequence of both, back in 2018 I was on the Bill Committee that had the interesting task of...

I will not speak about the problems of the analogue past, but instead look ahead to the digital future. It is a pleasure to speak on a Bill that has been subject to very detailed scrutiny by some very eminent people in the other place.

Further to that point of order, Mr Speaker. As my hon. Friend says, this has been a very long debate in which serious issues have been raised by Opposition Members. This debate was about not just Leveson, but data protection, which is particularly important for the future, and Opposition Members...

My right hon. Friend is making extremely important points. The very fact that we are having the debate shows that there is uncertainty. When those who may be not so friendly to us in other parts of Europe are looking for cause to be difficult, does that not absolutely give...

My hon. Friend is absolutely right. Much work needs to be done to raise awareness of what the GDPR will mean. That is a challenge, but it is a good thing in general. The worry is that if it will not be available for our smaller companies in the future,...

To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking to increase the number of people in the UK with high-level specialist skills in data science.
To ask the Secretary of State for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy, what steps he is taking to increase the number of people in the UK with high-level specialist skills in data science.
The Government recognises the need to increase the number of people with high-level skills in data science for the benefit of the UK, and is taking a range of measures to boost the supply of people with these skills.
The Alan Turing Institute is a £67 million joint venture between the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council and five leading UK Universities (Cambridge, Edinburgh, Oxford, UCL and Warwick). It is the UK’s national institute for data science, and training the next generation of researchers is a key part of its mission.
Other institutes supported by the Research Councils include the Hartree Centre (a centre of excellence in High Performance Computing), the Farr Institute of Health Informatics Research, and the Isaac Newton Institute in Cambridge, which are all helping researchers to develop their skills to make better use of data.
The Research Councils are taking other steps to increase the supply of researchers with data skills, for example all Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council-funded doctoral students are required to be trained in informatics, data analysis and computational methods as a core part of their training. They support numerous Centres for Doctoral Training (CDTs) involved in data analysis, including the University of Edinburgh’s Data Science CDT, and the Big Data and Cloud Computing CDT at the University of Newcastle. And the £19.5 million Q-Step programme is designed to promote a step-change in quantitative social science training in the UK.
